“I worked with Loredana on a critical project at RR Donnelley. She was a very strong project manager. She held all the stakeholders accountable for their tasks by setting clear expectations and timey follow ups. I highly recommend her for any role that requires leadership, project management and cross functional collaboration. ”

Naperville Youth Chess Club

It had experienced rapid top-line growth, but at the same time cash flows had declined. Sara Lee ignored both internal and external warning signs until a major transformation plan became necessary.

Sara Lee Corporation's acquisition binge in the 1980s and 1990s left the company with a portfolio of vastly different businesses operating independently of one another. It had experienced rapid top-line growth, but at the same time cash flows had declined. Sara Lee ignored both internal and external warning signs until a major transformation plan became necessary. This case examines the company's multiple turnaround attempts. The learning objective of the case is to analyze "early stage" turnaround efforts by examining how the company found itself in decline, evaluating its attempts to improve its performance, and assessing the turnaround plan.
